[CWGame]

Friday August 8th 2014:
Deadlift max:
135x6
225x5
275x2
315x1
345x1
365x1 (felt in chest)
385x1 (PR) (http://youtu.be/zoFRPphFfDo)

Felt good I need to work on off the ground though.
Maxes:
Bench: 300
Squat: 300 (ATG) (belt)
Deadlift: 385 (chalk belt)
Total: 985 (SO CLOSE!)

Deficits- (2-3inch) (45 and shoes) (dead stop)
135x5
185x5
235x5
255x10 (felt great) (PR)

Overall really happy with this workout I need to work on my off the ground, but my lockout speed is pretty good. Felt like I was about to tear something in my lower left pec though on my two heavy sets maxing.

GOD is good man I was pretty down in the dumps this week because I don't have a job yet and only have about a thousand dollars with my freshman year of college coming up one semester would bankrupt me but if everything is fine on my transcripts I'm going to get a presidential scholarship to a community college paying my first two years in full. I feel great that I don't have this burden on my back anymore God is great.

Sunday august 10th 2014:
Bench:
135x6
155x5
185x5
205x3

Pause reps:
225x2
245x5
250x4 (PR)

TnG:
225x10 (horrible horrible horrible) (PR)

Horizontal chest press- (paused)
1 x6
2 x6
2.5 x5
2 x4
1 x5

Horrible workout I didn't carb up and I wasn't in the right mind set. My diet for the last 3 days or so has sucked. None of my sets felt good. The 225x10 was complete trash only hitting 10 and all the reps sucked was all over my chest no bouncing but bar placement was trash. Highly dissapointed in that and pausing was okay but not the progression I wanted. 225x10 is horrible for touch and go just wasn't feeling it today. Need to get back into my mindset and destroy my PRs next cycle. LETS GO!

[CWGame]

Monday august 11th 2014:
Squat:
135x6
185x5
225x5
255x3
265x5 (PR)
275x5 (PR) (15 pound PR) (below paralell)

Front squats:
95x5
135x5
185x3 (bar rolled forward right shoulder)

Super happy with my 15 pound PR for 5s. It felt great to squat and I actually loved it! I didn't do much front squating because I was teaching a buddy how to properly squat but front squats felt good too.

[CWGame]

Tuesday august 12th 2014:
Deadlift- (speed, deads top, no chalk)
95x8
135x8
185x8
185x8
185x8
185x8
135x8

BB shrugs:
135x10
185x10
235x6 (ugly)
135x13 (okay)

Pull ups:
18
12+1 crappy kick up one
14 +1 crappy kick up one

Overall okay workout pull ups were good but deads and shrugs sucked. Feels good I can still hit a decent amount of pull ups especially when not fresh.

[PaintballMan]

I never even warmup deads below 135... Can't get the form right with small plates lmao

[CWGame]

Its horrible don't do it I do it with the bar but don't go all the way down only reason I did 95 is because the guy I'm training his deadlift is like 165 so he needs to start low.

[CWGame]

Wednesday august 13th 2014:
Bench:
135x5
185x5
225x5
240x5 (last one paused)
240x5
240x5
240x5 (all paused)
240x5 (slow controlled)

Didn't do six just so I was somewhat fresh for hitting heavy dumbbells.

Db flat bench:
60x5
80x5
100x5
110x5
120x3 (PR)
125x2 (PR) (http://youtu.be/2MRuqaYkpUI)

Was pretty happy with this workout the 125s set was a little ugly but I'm happy I maxed out the dumbbells on flat bench and felt the weight for two.
I was helping to train a buddy of mine and it got uncomfortable since his form is still pretty bad I'm making sure its perfect before he puts up any real weight and I'm being pretty blunt about it. He may think I'm being hard and a stickler for form but in the end it will pay off way more then going heavy with crappy form.

[CWGame]

Thursday august 14th 2014-
Squat- (slow controlled going for perfect reps)
135x8
185x8
185x8
185x8
185x9 (8th rep leaned forward slight so did another)

All sets felt amazing they went up very smoothly and no break in form at all. Was a great squat day.

Lunges- (no shoes) (lunges have always been DB)
55sx20 (slipped a couple times)
55x20 (better and lower)
55x20
55x20 (PR)

Decided not to do leg press because I cooled using the restroom and I have heavy deads tomorrow. I have to hit at least 345x5 tomorrow for it to just be meeting my PR shooting for 355x5 or higher.

[CWGame]

Friday august 15th 2014:
Deadlift:
135x5
185x5
225x5
275x5
315x5
335x5
355x5 (PR)
365x5 (PR) (huge +20lb PR)

super happy with my two last sets hits hurt, and I grinded through the last rep but it felt great to hit a 20 lb PR.

Deficits- (dead stop, no chalk, no belt)
225x5
225x5
225x5
225x5


Overall was a great workout felt really solid. Really happy with the PR. The guy I'm training is a man now he tore his skin doing rack ups and started bleeding. Hips hurt but felt great hitting a huge PR.

[PaintballMan]

Mirin PR, that 385x1 didn't exactly fly up but you got 365x5 today.

Just wondering, did you used to be more of a bench only guy, or was your bench always just the best of all your lifts?

I lifted almost equally between upper and lower body meaning if I did skip a workout that workout would of been legs but I pushed myself on bench press and didn't care if I progressed as fast on squats. My lifts should back into proportion pretty fast since im lifting double the amount of lower body as upper right now. Yeah man I was really happy with the 365x5 last two reps were tough but I made it through them. My issue right now is off the ground so im working on deficits. I should have 405 next max at least I'm hoping to progress 10 lbs each week until max week which is in 4-5 weeks I believe. Now that I have been training with a powerlifting mentality my squat and deads have shot up and I'm loving both.

Thanks for checking out my log bro.

Sounds good. I like the log, would poverty rep you but I'm on spread. Always loved power lifting over bodybuilding, I'd rather impress people with the weight I'm moving instead of how large my left forearm is.

Exactly my mentality man, my main goal is to be as strong as I can with the secondary goal of size. I would rather be able to lift then just look like I lift.

Subbed to your YouTube mate, nice lifting!

Sunday august 17th 2014:
Bench:
135x5
155x5
185x5
205x5

Pause bench:
225x5
245x5 (sucked)

TnG- (meant to be paused)
265x1

Paused bench:
275x1 (good pause)
285x1 (sunk in) (PR)

Db flat bench- ( all sets sucked)
60x5
70x5
90x5
110x5
110x3 (almost fell off bench when getting up)

I carbed up late probably 20 minutes before we worked out. Overall I just wasn't feeling it didn't have a right balance on the bench felt off. Pretty happy with the 285 paused it was pretty easy I was going to go up but wanted to save energy for dumbbells I'm 100% sure I can get a strong pause at 285 though. Disappointed in my db workout though.

[CWGame]

Monday August 18th 2014:
Squat-
95x5
135x5
165x5
185x5
225x5
245x3
275x3
285x3 (PR)(http://youtu.be/Wf5CnOCOgQI)
285x1 (not feeling it so racked it)

I was dissapointed I wanted 285x5 today but when I started squating at the lockout of my reps I felt a pain in my thighs that messed me up. Did tripples since I thought it would help me push through it didn't really help that much. Still hit a solid PR so happy with that.

Front squats-
95x5
135x5
165x5
185x3
205x3 (PR) (http://youtu.be/cgSc39YOzrM)

Overall could of been better inner thigh pain threw me off, but still hit 2 good formed PRs.

This week I have been not necessarily doubting God but doubting human error that I wouldn't get the presidential scholarship for college because school starts in a week and they haven't received my transcripts to prove I had a 3.0+ in highschool along with my placement tests placing high at the college. I called this morning and they got them she told me I will be getting the scholarship and it has taken a huge burden off my back but I feel bad that I doubted him that he wouldn't help me to where I need to be.

[CWGame]

Desided to take today off it was supposed to be light deadlifts.
Starting next week since college starts I'm going to be running Madcow 5x5 so instead of working out 6 days a week it will be 3.

[CWGame]

Wednesday August 20th 2014:
Bench:
135x6
185x5
225x3
255x3
275x1
295x1 (easy what the heck?)
305x1 (still pretty easy what?!)
315X1 (PR) (http://youtu.be/Pxc6YK9Ji88)
245x6 (paused) (PR)

Since I'm switching my routine over to Madcow next week I was bored and decided to max today. 315 THOUGH?! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? Thank you God, super happy about hitting that I wasn't even focused with the 245x6 paused reps and I still hit a PR and they were all solid strong pauses. So happy to finally hit this! Took many years but I'm here. Even though my butt came a little off the bench it was a really solid lift.

Horizontal chest press:
1 x8
2 x8
3 x6

Very Happy with this workout huge milestone!

Edit: was looking back to see how badly I wasted my time it took me 1 year 6 months and 20 days to go from a 225 bench to a 275 bench (yes I know that's a 50lb increase over 40 from 275 to 315.) And it took me a month and a half to go from 275 to 315 Because I was eating properly and was pushing myself. All of those years wasted such a shame.

Edit 2: from July 2012 to July of 2014 it took me to get my squat from a 225 to a good 275. So sad how much time I wasted lifting and making no progress. And in this last two months I've went from 275x1 to 275x5.

[CWGame]

Wasn't the best my mid back was a tiny bit rounded could of been better form but still decent PR, I was really tired because I woke up at 2am to go to a job interview in phoenix and didnt get much rest. Still happy 10lb PR only 10 lbs away from 4 plates.

Hey man, new to your log. Strong lifting.

Are you a rising freshman in college?

Also, really cool to see people unafraid of mentioning their relationship with God in their logs. My relationship with Him is still a WIP.

Thanks for checking out my log man! My bench is my only decent lift but I'm fixing that trying to get my dead and squat into proportion.
I am a freshman in college not sure what a rising freshman is though I start Monday.

Yeah my relationship with him has grown tremendously in the past 3 months since I started training hard. I've eased into reading the bible and praying often. I can 100% say my life has changed that I feel better, I'm not as angry/impatient, I am much more of a leader/confident ,and I feel like he is putting stuff in place in my life to do his will.

Sucky sessions suck, I'm with you my man. We all get them, though.. Doesn't matter how intense or "hardcore" you are.. If your body decides it doesn't want to perform well, it'll have its wish granted lol.

Good job grinding through it though.

Thanks man yeah yesterday felt horrible, but that's fine everyone has a bad workout here and there.

[atemps64]

Mirin' hard man. Where do you get your workouts?
